Overtness of the hidden face in Parkinson's disease

I enjoyed reading through this very comprehensively authored book on the non-motor features of Parkinson's disease. It highlights that there is a lot more to PD than what the patients report; it is not all shaking and not moving but that PD affects quality of life by its impact on almost all the systems and functions of the physical and mental nature. Right from the impairment of gastro-intestinal movements to the olfaction, weight, pain, sleep, intimate relationship, autonomic involvement of several tissues and modalities makes it vital to spend time with the patients to try to identify the problems as some of these might be amenable to management. Palliation is an overlooked aspect of care in advanced disease but so important for comfort in the last stages of life. There is however no generalisation and the patients would benefit from a personalised approach to manage these issues. A highly awaited and timely publication in the 200th year of James Parkinson's essay on the Shaking Palsy. Highly recommended to read, consult and practice.
